"I have both strong academic and professional background in education. I was a Learning Assistant at the British International School of Chicago-Lincoln Park for students ages 4-8, working with children from a variety of cultural backgrounds in a variety of subjects, including Phonics/Literacy/Reading. Additionally, I received a Master's in Secondary Education from Loyola University Chicago in which I also completed a student teaching internship within Chicago Public Schools for students of all abilities in grades 6-8. My certified content area is Social Studies and I also have experience co-teaching middle school reading."
